Be You
in all the ways
you can
there must
be a reason
apart from a great
sense of humour
that his chisle
put all those
crazy nooks
the way it has.

Of course
I laugh
every time
I see you,
your mirror
and me
both have a pact
on that,
he must
have been
in a real hurry
to do a
stupendous job
like that.

But before
the year ends
let a secret be told
we both know
the real rush
he had,
it was us
who needed you
to be
this you
in all the
colors you have.

And we laugh
for we know
the need
you fulfill
was never
a priority
you’d choose,
but it is ours
to secretly mine,
so you, be you
and let us bask
through this
long winter
in your
secretly adored
wondrous sunshine.

In the midst
of an existence,
clouded by
a logic,
propagated
by an illogical
world,
I can’t help
but feel
embarrassed,
as the the
little bird,
looks at me,
picks up the
piece .
of offered bread,
still untrusting
of the motives,
it has learned
to know.

Fluttering away,
with its meal
held tight,
between the
secure folds
of its beak,
the look
of a thief,
teasing my
form,
but connecting
with the soul,
and I break out
into a smile,
for how far
have we
traveled now,
that even
those that
really fly free,
doubt the intentions
of those,
that only claim
to be.

Like a flood
it flowed
into the
coveted spaces,
made vulnerable
by currents
flowing through
the veins,
fires lit
by matches
unboxed
unwrapped
uninhibited
but sure,
consuming
the waters
of untamed
rivers,
rising
and falling
like tides
pulled by
the divinity
of the moon,
reuniting
in volcanic
tremors
two lost
alive
invisible souls.
